Cheol Jun Cho

Hi, I am a PhD student in EECS at UC Berkeley. I am co-advised by Dr. Gopala K. Anumanchipalli and Dr. Jack L. Gallant. I closely collaborate with Chang Lab led by Dr. Edward Chang at UCSF.

My main research focus is on investigating representation of intelligence - How do intelligent systems represent complex behaviors and concepts? Can we design representations that are more grounded and interpretable? Currently, I am answering these questions in speech domain using diverse techniuqes in machine learning, AI, and neurosciece.

Before I came to Berkeley, I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University in Korea.
